Gary Rendell,astronaut,stuck in a strange object with a vast network of tunnels in space, trying to find his other crew members after being separated. This book flips back and forth to Gary exploring these tunnels to Gary pre-tunnel experience. The humor in this book is excellent! Gary's experiences eating the local “cuisine” is not to be missed. As he's going along in the cold, dark tunnels, he becomes lonely and starts talking to an imaginary friend “Toto” or as I felt, he was talking directly to me-the reader. Along his journeys he meets several different type of alien species, some of them are nice and some not. This is my first book by Tchaikovsky and won't be the last. Excellent writing that kept you interested in what was around the next corner for Gary. And oh, that twisty ending-loved it!
